We stayed here after a drive up from Los Angeles. The location is excellent for walking down State Street, going down the wharf or strolling along the beach. Also, if you are traveling with a runner there is a nice running track a short distance away. Nice attached restaurant on the corner. Room was attractive. We upgraded to one that... More

Room is clean. We got a basic room, no view per se. Nice pillows and mattress, comfortable. Service at front desk nice, gave us some recommendations on where to eat and coupon for it ( not their own restaurant). Downside: close enough to the train tracks that you can hear it from your room. Also it is not directly on... More

Hotel was well situated, and rooms were clean. Nothing too memorable, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. More

Nope. Not a single PRACTICAL fault to this place: 1. Clean as a whistle. 2. Adequate restaurant on premises. 3. Convenient parking. 4. Convenient to the beach. 5. Convenient to town. 6. Comfortable beds. 7. Reasonably large rooms. 8. Quiet. 9. Balconies. 10. Nice bathroom. Otherwise... charmless. 1. You're not ON the beach. 2. Most views barely glimpse the ocean.... More

This property, although a bit dated, is very beautiful (in part due to the wonderful location just across the boulevard from the beach). The rooms are very spacious. It is a very charming, clean hotel that accomodated a group of bachelorettes very well. We avoided partying on the premise though, just fyi. Not all of the staff were friendly, but... More

We spent 2 wonderful days at the Harbor View Inn at the end of April. We had a partial ocean view room, located on the lower level just behind the pool and across the hall from the spa. The room was large and lovely and the bed was heavenly. This hotel was so quiet too. We never heard another person... More

Perfect location. Great views. Pricey, but worth it. We stayin in the lower level, adjacent to the grass area behind pool, right across from the spa. Perfect rooms if you have kids with you, as the patio opens up the grass area and the pool just beyond. The pool was warm, and the 1 1/2 foot kids pool was even... More

We had no reservation but liked the look and location of this hotel and lucked out late in the day with a REALLY NICE corner room. Two balconies, one overlooking the wharf, a beautiful room and bath, generous and prompt room service, & an on site spa with guest use of jacuzzi and sauna. We were in the second building,... More

This property is located right across the street from the beach and Stearns Wharf. It is well-maintained and the hotel staff is very friendly. I loved the bathtub! Very deep, with pretty tile work on the tub surround and the same beautiful tile in the entry. The first-floor room we stayed in was a spacious King and had a patio... More
